I'm back in the saddle again

Hello Everyone,

It has been quite a long time since my last post, and a lot has happened since then. I finally decided to get back into doing reviews of tights and am so excited that the wonderful people at Stockingirl sent me tights to review and I really want to thank them for their generosity!

I would like to start out by sharing more about them and their business. I will be quoting them from the contact I have had with them. "Stockingirl Leg Wear is the official representative and distributer
for Trasparenze leg wear in the USA. We have just begun the
relationship this summer.

To introduce our
company, we are a private label company that also has our own brand,
Stockingirl which is mostly made in France. We sell to stores, and on
the internet, as stockingirl.com.
We have been in business for over 18 years. We have known Trasparenze
for many years from our trips to Italy, looking for factories to make
Stockingirl Leg Wear."

The first pair I will be reviewing is a style by the Italian brand Trasparenze, which I truly love! They make amazing and beautiful patterns! The style is called Varnasi, and the color is called Zucchero which when i looked it up appears to mean Sugar in Italian. This makes perfect sense as it looks like the tights are dusted with sugar which I think makes such a cool effect! They felt very nice on the skin, I will say they are not as smooth as some other styles of Trasparenze tights, but they were not itchy or uncomfortable in any way at all! I could easily wear them for extended periods of time with no issues what so ever! After looking at the packaging, I see no mention of what the denier of these tights is. If I would have to guess, I would say they are 50-60 denier as they seem to provide really good coverage on the legs, but don't seem to be as thick as some basic tights can be. I really love them so much as they really draw attention to the legs! I cannot thank Stockingirl enough.

Here is how I styled them:

I hope you enjoyed the post, and would love to hear your thoughts on the outfit and the tights!

While Stockingirl did send me these tights to review, the review is still my own.

I have to make sure to thank my photographer for all the great photos as there is no way I could take such great photos of my outfits all by myself! Jonathan
